About the role

Lux Aeterna in Denver, CO is seeking a VP of Engineering to scale the spacecraft hardware program. You will own engineering execution, structure teams, and hire senior engineers to drive design review through flight. We expect 10+ years in aerospace hardware and 5+ years leading teams, with a track record from design to flight. This is an onsite role with a fast-paced, high-impact environment and meaningful equity.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
